Lot 2134		1800 S-197 R1. Fine-15. Sharpness near VF30 but there is extremely fine granularity well hidden under a glossy dark olive and steel patina.

Lot 2135		1800 S-199 R4 Off Center. Good-5. Mostly glossy chocolate brown with darker chocolate toning in protected areas, especially on the obverse.

A rim nick at TA in STATES and faint hairline scratches in the center of the reverse are the only notable marks. The date is strong and the legends are clear. MDS, Breen state IV. Struck slightly off center to K-3. Estimated Value $100 - 150. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $184
Lot 2136		1800 S-202 R4+. Good-6. Rather glossy dark olive and steel with lighter steel brown highpoints.

There are a few faint hairline scratches on the portrait and minor roughness over ONE. The date is clear and the legends are strong except where affected by die swelling on the reverse. M-LDS, Breen state V. Estimated Value $250 - 350. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $322
Lot 2137		Pair of 1800 Cents. Includes S-201 grading VG7 except for a large peeled planchet lamination covering the left side of the obverse and S-207 in VG8 net G5 for very fine granularity.

Lot 2138		1800 S-208 R3. VG-10. A few points sharper but there are some faint hairline scratches on the portrait and at the base of the date plus patches of very shallow reddish verdigris scattered over the obverse. The remainder of the planchet is smooth, and the reverse is quite nice for the grade. Glossy olive and dark reddish chocolate, the obverse mottled thanks to those verdigris patches. The date and legends are complete and strong. LDS, Breen state IV. Strong cud breaks show at TY down to opposite the chin. Estimated Value $400 - 600. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $564
Lot 2139		1800 S-210 R5+. About Good-3. Sharpness VF30 or better but corroded, the roughness moderate to severe. A few areas show shallow reddish verdigris, but there are no contact marks of any consequence. Somewhat glossy very dark olive and steel, nearly black, except for the few areas of reddish steel toning. The date and legends are complete and easily readable, but a few areas are not strong due to the roughness. EDS, Breen state I. Estimated Value $300 - 500. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 2140		1800 S-212 R3. VG-8. Mostly glossy dark steel brown. Smooth with only a few small marks, including a rim nick under the second 0 in the date. The date and legends are complete and clear.

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $253
Lot 2141		1801 S-219 R2 3-Error Reverse. PCGS graded VF-25. Sharpness VF20 but there are some light contact marks on the obverse, including a dull, disjointed light scratch from the hair left of the ear to the earlobe fading into the field before the neck. Lightly cleaned and nicely retoned glossy dark chocolate and steel. MDS, Breen state IV, with a single arcing die crack through UNI to the denominator. All 3 of the die-cutter blunders are clear. An attractive mid-grade example of this very popular "Redbook" variety. EAC grade net F15. The 3-error feature is noted on the PCGS label. Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,450
Lot 2142		Trio of 1801 S-219 3-Error Reverse Variety. The first is an early die state before any reverse die cracks grading AG3. The other 2 pieces are late die state with all the reverse die cracks and both grade Fair-2. All have a readable date. The first shows all 3 of the reverse die-cutter errors while the other 2 show only one or two of those errors. Lot of 3 coins. Estimated Value $75 - 125. View details	Realized $173
Lot 2143		1801 S-220 R3 Error Fraction 1/000. VF-30. Glossy chocolate brown with slightly lighter steel brown highpoints. The obverse is highly glossy and offers excellent eye appeal while the reverse is not as glossy but still quite nice. A light rim bruise at the T in LIBERTY is the only notable mark. E-MDS, Breen state III. The shallow rim cud breaks under the 180 are clear. A decent example of this scarce error fraction variety. Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,280
Lot 2144		1801 S-224 R1. VG-10. Slightly glossy dark steel brown with lighter steel brown and chocolate toning on the highpoints.

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $228
Lot 2145		1801 NC-3 R6+ Error Fraction 1/000. About Good-3. Sharpness VF20 but there is a large, deep corrosion spot on the obverse that obliterates about 20-25% of that side. The remainder of the planchet is covered with light roughness and shows a few marks as well, but these flaws pale by comparison to the obverse crater. The deeply corroded patch on the obverse contains a reddish substance that must have been the copper planchet before it was transformed by some chemical process into its present form. The rest of the coin is a rather glossy mix of chocolate and olive brown. Too bad about the crater because this piece has more detail than the Sheldon plate coin for this very rare variety. Estimated Value $500 - 1,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,100
Lot 2146		1802 S-225 R3. VG-8. Sharpness F15 but covered with uniform fine granularity. No marks or verdigris. Recolored a slightly glossy dark bluish steel and olive brown.

Lot 2147		1802 S-226 R3. VF-30. Sharper by at least 10 points but lightly cleaned and retoned glossy chocolate mottled with splashes of light olive and dark sea-green on the obverse. Some of these splashes contain extremely fine granularity, the roughness so minor it is hardly visible with a strong glass but it does affect the gloss. A thin nick or short scratch down the upright of the first T in STATES is the only notable sign of contact. MDS, Breen state III. The cud break under the date is strong. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,035
Lot 2148		1802 S-226 R3. VG-7. Slightly sharper but lightly cleaned and nicely retoned glossy bluish steel brown and chocolate.

Lot 2149		1802 S-229 R2. VF-30. Very attractive glossy chocolate brown with smooth surfaces. The only marks are a very tiny rim bruise left of the lowest curl and a pair of tiny nicks on the throat at the jawline. The tops of BERT are softly struck as is the opposing area at the denominator but everything else is nicely impressed. Some shallow dirt or waxy crud shows around the 2 in the date and under the bust tip at right. MDS, Breen state III. Called VF30 and tied for CC#11 in the Bland/Breen condition census. Comes with an impressive provenance as well. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500. Ex Henry C. Hines-Dr. William H. Sheldon-C. Douglas Smith 4/8/52-Dr. Charles L. Ruby, Superior 2/74:578-Allen F.

Glossy chocolate brown, the obverse highpoints a lighter shade of steel brown thanks to the fine hairlines. MDS, Breen state IV late. The cud break over the B in LIBERTY reaches down to the top of that letter, the first of the so-called "Dripping Paint" breaks. Estimated Value $700 - 900. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $805
Lot 2151		Pair of 1802 Cents. Includes S-227 in VG7 and S-232 in VG8. Both are slightly sharper but cleaned and retoning.

Lot 2154		1802 S-240 R3. VG-10. A few points sharper but there is a patch of fine to moderate granularity at the left center of the reverse covering the CE in CENT and O in ONE into the leaves at left. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and attractive, quite nice for the grade. Glossy medium brown and chocolate with darker olive brown toning at the rough area on the reverse. LDS, Breen state IV. The die crack up from the bust tip reaches the rim before the face. The date is bold and the legends are strong. Estimated Value $300 - 500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $312

Estimated Value $400 - 500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $679
Lot 2162		1803 S-255 R1. EF-45. Sharpness very close to mint state, and the luster suggests this is a mint state cent, but there are several light pinscratches in the field over the bust plus another across the upper part of the neck. These scratches all blend into the natural toning, but they still catch the eye. The obverse is lustrous chocolate and lighter steel brown while the reverse is a lustrous lighter shade of brown mixed with some darker steel toning. MDS, Breen state III.

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $265
Lot 2165		1803 S-262 R3. VF-25. Slightly sharper with a few small contact marks, including a dull nick over the 0 in the date and another hidden in the hair under the ear.

Lot 2177		1807 S-276 R1 Large Fraction. Fine-15. Sharper by at least 10 points but cleaned and retoning dark steel brown with much of the coppery color remaining from the cleaning. No spots, stains, or corrosion, only faint hairlines from the cleaning. Nicely struck E-MDS, and the reverse is rotated 55 degrees CW from a normal head-to-foot orientation.

Very little if any corrosion is visible on the obverse, and a good bath may reveal relatively decent surfaces. The reverse, however, appears to have a covering of microscopic granularity under the natural patina. Mostly glossy dark chocolate and olive brown with reddish chocolate toning in protected areas of the reverse. A few very faint hairlines on the portrait are well hidden under the patina. Later die state with clear rim cud break under the date and star 13, Breen state V. EAC grade net VF25. Estimated Value $400 - 600. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
